Robert Plant is back with his first album since 2007’s six time Grammy Award winning “Raising Sand”.
Picking up where the critically acclaimed roots rock of “Raising Sand” – which sold 700,000 in the UK and 3 million worldwide, scooping the Grammy for Album of the Year – left off, “Band Of Joy” was recorded in Nashville with a stellar cast of musicians.
Preceding the album release will be new single ‘Angel Dance’ released on September 6th, a throbbing rendition of Los Lobos's classic, who also appear in the Vince Haycock directed video. The single – released as an e-single with video bundle – revolves around a Middle Eastern chorus melody that acts as a reminder of Plant’s far-flung influences.
